Geee Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 National Review: Normally, no one would care that in a recent Atlantic essay — “Why I Hope to Die at 75” — 57-year-old Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel argued that living to be 75 years old was long enough for anyone. After 75, Emanuel suggests, “We are no longer remembered as vibrant and engaged but as feeble, ineffectual, even pathetic.” But Emanuel is no garden-variety crackpot. Nor is he a wannabe science-fiction writer dreaming of a centrally planned planet of robust youthful humanoids. Unfortunately, he was one of the chief architects of the troubled Affordable Care Act and a key medical advisor to the Obama administration. The ACA’s conservative critics have long knocked Obamacare as a first step toward medical rationing. Read Emanuel’s diatribe against living too long, and suddenly Sarah Palin’s attack on Obamacare’s “death panels” does not seem so far-fetched.

Valin Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 @Geee Hate to say I told you so (actually I don't hate it at all), but I told you so. Saw this coming right from the start. Remember we boomers are a huge group moving through society. ACA....Should I mention what & how much we eat? You don't have to be a conspiracy nutter to see where the ACA could go....will go if certain people have their way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
